The first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.
Robin Williams
We Americans, we're a simple people . . . but piss us off, and we'll bomb your cities.
Robin Williams
In truth I never really liked any of the heavy drugs, because normally my energy is up when I'm performing, and that's about it. Cocaine is nothing new. It's the pressure, I think. People use it to relieve that, and for me it is about getting numb and forgetting. I have a reverse metabolic reaction to the stuff.
Robin Williams
If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference.
Robin Williams
Golf is a game where white men can dress up as black pimps and get away with it.
Robin Williams
If women ran the world there would be no wars. However every 28 days there would be some very intense negotiations.
Robin Williams
Self-reliance is the key to a vigorous life. A man must look inward to find his own answers.
Robin Williams
You have this idea that you'd better keep working otherwise people will forget. And that was dangerous. And then you realize, no, actually if you take a break people might be more interested in you.
Robin Williams
I stopped drinking when I had children because I wanted to be awake and aware. I did not want to be going, you know, daddy loves you and then drop my head on the table. I do not want to miss anything that they do or say. It is important to me.
Robin Williams
When you really do find a new idea or you're in and it's all working, that's the gift. It's like a musician when they hit a riff, that's when you're like all right, it's mellow. You back off and just ride it.
Robin Williams
There's three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and a navy blazer.
Robin Williams
What some folks call impossible is just stuff they haven't seen before.
Robin Williams
The Second Amendment says we have the right to bear arms, not to bear artillery.
Robin Williams
You have an internal critic, an internal drive that says, 'OK, you can do more.' Maybe that's what keeps you going.
Robin Williams
We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
Robin Williams
Cross-country running was so beautiful with all the trails and the lake regions ... very physical and also a bit spiritual, where you could come over the mountain and all of a sudden you'd see a Buddhist landscape fog.
Robin Williams
Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.
Robin Williams
My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.
Robin Williams
Directing requires great discipline, that ability to be in and out at the same time. The great ones I've worked with are like generals. It's a bit like a small war on that level. The great ones have that combination of freedom and control. I'm nowhere near that. There's still so much to do as an actor. I have enough to explore with that.
Robin Williams
Humor is a great defense, and an offense too. Usually the recipient isn't too happy about it, but the people around are laughing.
